Interfacing Revisited

We went back over interfaces today. After the class I had a look about for another set of powerpoints for you to use as revision. There are others out there, just search for them.

We also looked at wireless PAN devices today such as Bluetooth. Remember future development in peripherals, will still have all the issues of today. So the Interface will be required to connect devices to be machines. USB3.0 and Thunderbolt are two of the new standards that give transfer speeds of 5Gbps and 10Gbps. Some interfaces allow for daisy chaining so one port on a computer can have multiple devices connected to it without a hub (Firewire & Thunderbolt).
